lk-sctp sending ABORT while association set-up

2k views Asked by At

I am using lksctp-tools-1.0.6-3.el5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)) on one machine and lksctp-tools-1.0.10-7.el6.x86_64 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago)) in another machine. I am trying to establish a SCTP association via JAVA application. SCTP server(172.16.150.14) was running on the machine (lksctp-tools-1.0.6-3.el5) and my JAVA SCTP client(172.16.150.69) was creating association through machine (lksctp-tools-1.0.10-7.el6.x86_64). We are getting multiple ABORT while establishment phase itself. I am providing the pcap details for reference.

I have tried with same version of lk-sctp : lksctp-tools-1.0.10-7.el6.x86_64 on both my machines. It is working fine for now.

Tested with sctp_test commands:

Please find pcap file for above command as attachment.

Just one doubt, whether this will work seamlessly with other SCTP stack too?

FYI, I just ran across this problem after spending a few hours wondering what had gone wrong with an SCTP server and client that had worked the day before.

After doing some reading, I had added

net.sctp.addip_enable = 1

to /etc/sysctl.conf - after noticing that option was available, and figuring that adding and removing IP addresses to/from an association after it had been created would be a useful thing. It appears to simply break SCTP, or require alterations to how you create the connection. That produced the exact behavior described above.

Commenting out the line and rebooting restored SCTP to working order.
